Did this go away gradually or did you find relief from anything in particular?

So many of us have sleep problems and as we all know, sleep is essential for recovery. In fact it's really important to help us function whether we have had a head injury or not. I of course realize everyone is different and sleep patterns do change for so many reasons.
Lara,

During these five months I would wake up at 1 or 2am and remain awake throughout the night. The breakthrough for me was Cymbalta, it cured this instantly.

I am only on 30mg of Cymbalta, which I take in the morning. I might switch this round to night now as I still wake at 5 or 6am at the minute.
